Illinois Kia Car Dealers

The $500 Financing is until 5-2-11 so not much time left I also got a $500 because we owned a 2000 Intrepid and they offer it for some other cars so ask about that. Good luck I love my Kia Optima Lx I just purchased it two days ago In Elgin IL (Rosen Dealership) and Sales persons name is Adrian was very pleasant person and gave me great Deal

I researched this car for the past 6 months and have been following this forum and others. I have never owned a Kia or Hyundai - so this was new ground for me. Previous cars included Honda Accords, Civics, Nissan Maxima and an Acura TL. I had a 2004 TL and I remember when I got it saying to myself "Wow, this same car from anyone else would have been 10K more". Guess what? I am saying the same thing right now - and a TL would be 10K more! The Optima is amazing with all of it's features!! Many of the things it has are not even available for any car in this price range. (Bluetooth streaming audio, heated rear seats, cooled front seats, etc..) I had two concerns going in to this purchase - the "left pull" issue and the "hard seats". I am satisfied with both of these right now. No left pull - and the seats are just fine. I mean come on - this is a car - not a recliner. Warranty - 10/100,000 power train and 5/50,000 bumper to bumper is great. The car is hard to find - equipped the way you want it and in the right color / wheels. I spent about 3 weeks looking at dealers within 100 miles of my house. The good news - the EXACT car I wanted showed up at my local dealer. The bad news - when I asked for the price they wanted $3,000 over sticker. Come on - I thought the industry was past that. I would think the Kia dealers would all be pumped up that they had a hot car - and new customers! I will never visit this dealer again. The even better news for me - the car I wanted got traded to the dealer I bought it from. That dealer made a great deal with me - and we did it all via e-mail. I got a buyers order sent to me via e-mail and when I arrived in person - there were no games. It was nearly painless. The dealer was about 90 minutes from my house - in Rockford, IL. It was well worth the drive. I managed to get $1,000 in Kia rebates and the 1.9 % financing. 5 days into the new car - and I am loving it!

Bypass the dealer and call Kia corporate [800 - 333 - 4KIA (4542)]. Open a case with their customer support and ask them to get the dealer to do the fix. Relate the problem as you've told us. Tell them you're not happy with the service they're supposed to provide and are making you feel like a criminal. In fact I'd ask them to have your car moved to a different dealership for service as that dealership shouldn't be trusted.

Bought the Soul ! for my son last week at Liberty Auto Plaza in Libertyville, IL. He drove the Nissan Cube & Scion xB & strongly preferred the Soul. Liberty has been great to deal with in every way. I've bought numerous Nissan's from them but this was my first Kia. They went out of their way to locate & trade for the color my son wanted & had it the next day. So far, he LOVES the vehicle. The styling isn't as polarizing in or out as the Cube & it has more power & standard features than the others in this class for the price. The 1.9% APR financing & much longer standard warranty make this a fantastic value as long as the reliability is good. As a repeat customer, I got a very good deal. Most dealers in this area are asking list price & adding options but Liberty did give me a fair discount (not much profit margin) & a super-easy buying experience with no "brain damage" from the staff. I highly recommend the Soul ! & Liberty Kia.

Yesterday I helped a friend purchase a 2007 Kia Rondo EX V6. Her Rondo had the premium package ($1200) and the leather package ($1000). The MSRP with those options was $22,995. The invoice is $21395. The purchase price was $20,800, which is $595 below invoice. We got this price without the $750 rebate that we did not qualify for because we did not finance the car through Kia Financial Services. By the way, we live in the Chicago-land area.
